rear LEDs

dobbo99 · 08-13-2012, 03:06 AM

my LED bar on the outer rear lights is not lighting up, having a search on here it looks like that you can only replace the whole unit, which fills me with joy!

anyone know any different. 2007 e92 m-sport if that makes any difference?

Not individually replaceable. Probably find some clusters on eBay where someone has some spare after "upgrading" to some tasteless tat.

im just browsing fleabay now, doesnt seem to be any non LCI passenger sides as yet.

but thats my only option is it? to replace the unit?

I suppose it might be possible to split the unit (it's thermally welded) and replace the LEDs at the end of the light tube but very difficult, even assuming you could get a replacement LED of the correct type.
